[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am trying to figure out what makes the Boomers so selfish.  They helped end quite a bit of discrimination, not all but tons.  The things the Boomers had to put up with at the beginning of their careers would make the Gen-Xers and Millenials insane.  Woman being required to quit when they married or got pregnant.  Women earning 50% for the same job (Gen-Xers and Millenials complain about it at 80%).  Smoking every where.  Discrimination was allowed at all levels gender and race.  No women in the US Senate.  Technology has changed tremendously...

I don't think all Boomers are selfish. But there is a huge percentage of them who did a really crappy job. Made decent money, but didn't save any of it for their children's college (spent it in consumer goods instead), didn't save for retirement, get angry when social security cutbacks are discussed, things like that. Mostly a money thing from what I see - just didn't have the traits of their hardworking/savings parents. [/quote]
